Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brewing technology, and in particular to a wine pouring device for oak barrels. Background Technology

[0002] Oak barrels have a wide range of applications in the liquor industry. They are used for the storage and aging of wines, beers, brandies, whiskies, and other spirits. Oak barrels allow the spirit and wood to interact and react, producing complex aromas such as dried fruit, dark chocolate, and vanilla, adding complexity to the spirit. At the same time, oak barrels also balance the acidity of the spirit, making it smoother and more mellow. In recent years, with the continuous development of China's economy and the efforts of major spirits groups, whisky industry stakeholders, and numerous enthusiasts, whisky has maintained a strong growth momentum in the Chinese market. Domestic whisky is also rapidly emerging, with whisky distilleries springing up like mushrooms after rain. International spirits groups and traditional Chinese liquor companies are all establishing local distilleries in China.

[0003] With the construction of whisky distilleries, the extraction of whisky aged in oak barrels requires corresponding equipment. Currently, the extraction of whisky from oak barrels typically employs a pumping system. This system includes an outlet pipe extending into the barrel and a pump connected to the pipe, which extracts the whisky from the barrel. However, pumping systems often fail to completely remove the whisky from the barrel, leading to waste. Furthermore, the residual whisky in each barrel is relatively expensive, increasing the company's costs. Utility Model Content

[0023] In one embodiment, the oak barrel pouring device further includes a second guide mechanism disposed between the fixed support and the lifting support, for guiding the lifting support's vertical movement relative to the fixed support.

[0024] In one embodiment, the second guide mechanism includes a linear slide and a slider, the linear slide being disposed on a fixed bracket and the length direction of the linear slide being arranged vertically;

[0025] The slider is mounted on the lifting bracket and is slidably connected to the linear slide.

[0026] In one embodiment, the oak barrel pouring device also includes a barrel discharge chute disposed on the other side of the support frame, the barrel discharge chute being used to receive the emptied oak barrels.

[0027] The bucket discharge chute includes a bucket receiving trough and an inclined buffer track. One end of the buffer track is connected to the support track, and the bucket receiving trough is connected to the other end of the buffer track.

These descriptions are appropriate when these elements are in the positions shown in the accompanying drawings. If the description of the positions of these elements changes, these directional indications also change accordingly.

[0051] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features. In the description of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0052] Please see Figure 1 As shown, the oak barrel pouring device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a support frame 100, a first lifting mechanism 200, a second lifting mechanism 300, a receiving trough 400, and a barrel discharge slide 500.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, the support frame 100 is provided with a support rail 110 for rolling support of the oak barrel 10. Specifically, the support frame 100 can be a cuboid-shaped frame structure. The support frame 100 may include a plurality of support columns 120 spaced apart along the length direction, and the plurality of support columns 120 are arranged in two columns along the width direction.

[0054] The support frame 100 is used for placement on the ground. Each support column 120 of the support frame 100 may be provided with height-adjustable feet at its bottom end. The support rail 110 is connected to the top of each support column 120.

[0055] The support rails 110 can be two in number, each connected to the top of one of the two rows of support columns 120. The two support rails 110 support both ends of the oak barrel 10. The oak barrel 10 can roll along the length of the support rails 110 when pushed by a worker. By using two support rails 110 to support both ends of the oak barrel 10, the support frame 100 of this application can be used to roll and support oak barrels 10 of various sizes, thereby broadening the applicability of the oak barrel pouring device.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the first lifting mechanism 200 is disposed on one side of the support frame 100. For example, the first lifting mechanism 200 is located on one side of the support frame 100 along its length. The first lifting mechanism 200 is used to lift the oak barrel 10 to the height of the support rail 110, so that the oak barrel 10 can roll onto the support rail 110.

[0057] See Figure 2 In one embodiment, the first lifting mechanism 200 includes a fixed bracket 210, a lifting bracket 220, and a lifting power component 230. The fixed bracket 210 is used to fix it to the ground.

[0058] For example, the fixed bracket 210 may include two vertical columns 211, the bottom end of each column 211 being fixedly installed to the ground. For example, the bottom end of the column 211 may be fixed to the ground using anchor bolts. The fixed bracket 210 may also include a base plate 212 connecting the bottom ends of the two columns 211.

[0059] The lifting bracket 220 is vertically and adjustablely mounted on the fixed bracket 210, and the lifting bracket 220 is used to support the oak barrel 10. For example, as... Figure 2 As shown, the lifting support 220 may include a support plate 221 and a lifting frame vertically connected to one side of the support plate 221. The support plate 221 is arranged opposite to the ground and is used to support the oak barrel 10.

[0060] The lifting frame and the fixed support 210 are vertically movable relative to each other. Specifically, the lifting frame may include two vertical beams 222 and a connecting beam 223 connecting the top ends of the two vertical beams 222. The two vertical beams 222 are respectively vertically and slidably connected to the two columns 211 of the fixed support 210.

[0061] like Figure 2 As shown, the lifting power component 230 is mounted on the fixed bracket 210 and drivenly connected to the lifting bracket 220. The lifting power component 230 is used to drive the lifting bracket 220 to perform lifting movements. The lifting power component 230 can be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or a linear push rod.

[0062] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the lifting power component 230 is a cylinder, which is arranged vertically. The cylinder body can be fixed to the fixed bracket 210, for example, the cylinder body can be fixed to the base plate 212 of the fixed bracket 210. The piston rod of the cylinder is connected to the lifting bracket 220, for example, the piston rod of the cylinder can be connected to the connecting beam 223 of the lifting bracket 220.

[0063] When the cylinder is activated, the piston rod of the cylinder extends and retracts relative to the cylinder body, thereby causing the lifting bracket 220 to move up and down relative to the fixed bracket 210. Using the cylinder to drive the lifting bracket 220 to move up and down makes the operation of the device safer and more reliable, avoiding the explosion-proof and safety requirements of electric devices.

[0064] In other embodiments, the base plate 212 of the fixing bracket 210 may be omitted. The cylinder body can be directly fixed to the ground, and the piston rod of the cylinder can be connected to the lifting bracket 220.

[0065] In the embodiments of this application, the first lifting mechanism 200 includes a fixed bracket 210, a lifting bracket 220, and a lifting power component 230. However, this application is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the first lifting mechanism 200 may also be a lifting mechanism such as a transfer trolley or a forklift. As long as it can lift the oak barrel 10 filled with wine to a certain height so that workers can roll the oak barrel 10 onto the support frame 100, it is acceptable. The specific design can be determined according to the circumstances.

[0066] See Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the oak barrel 10 pouring device may include a second guide mechanism 700, which is disposed between the fixed support 210 and the lifting support 220 to guide the lifting support 220's lifting movement relative to the fixed support 210. For example, the second guide mechanism 700 includes a linear groove and a slider, with the linear groove disposed on the fixed support 210. The length direction of the linear groove is arranged vertically. For instance, the linear groove may be disposed on the inner wall of the column 211 of the fixed support 210.

[0067] A slider can be mounted on the lifting bracket 220, and the slider is slidably connected to the linear slide groove. For example, the slider can be mounted on the outer wall of the vertical beam 222 of the lifting bracket 220. Of course, in other embodiments, the slider can be omitted. The vertical beam 222 of the lifting bracket 220 can partially engage with the linear slide groove and slide along the linear slide groove.

[0068] In the embodiments of this application, the second guide mechanism 700 includes a linear groove and a slider, but this application is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the second guide mechanism 700 may also include a groove disposed on the fixed bracket 210 and a pulley disposed on the lifting bracket 220; or, the second guide mechanism 700 may include a linear bearing disposed on the fixed bracket 210 and a guide shaft disposed on the lifting bracket 220.

[0069] See Figure 1 In the embodiments of this application, the second lifting mechanism 300 is disposed on the support frame 100. The second lifting mechanism 300 is provided with liftable support rollers 310, which are used to lift the oak barrel 10 and disengage it from the support track 110, or to lower the oak barrel 10 onto the support track 110.

[0070] In the embodiments of this application, Figure 3 yes Figure 1 The enlarged schematic diagram at point A in the structure shown illustrates the state of the second lifting mechanism 300 when the oak barrel 10 is supported by the support rail 110. Figure 4 yes Figure 1 The enlarged schematic diagram at point B in the structure shown illustrates the state in which the second lifting mechanism 300 lifts the oak barrel 10 so that the oak barrel 10 is supported by the support rollers 310.

[0071] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the second lifting mechanism 300 is mainly used to lift the oak barrel 10 placed on the support rail 110, so that the oak barrel 10 can be lifted upwards off the support rail 110 and supported by the support roller 310. This makes it easier for the worker to rotate the oak barrel 10 in the current position so that the spout of the oak barrel 10 can be poured out downwards. After the oak barrel 10 is emptied, the second lifting mechanism 300 can also drive the oak barrel 10 down, so that the oak barrel 10 is supported by the support rail 110 again. This makes it easier for the worker to roll the oak barrel 10 along the support rail 110 to move the oak barrel 10 away from the current position.

[0072] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the second lifting mechanism 300 includes a fixed base 320, a lifting base 330, and a driving member 340. The fixed base 320 is fixedly mounted on the support frame 100 and located below the support rail 110. For example, the fixed base 320 can be relatively fixedly mounted on the support frame 100 using locking structures such as bolts.

[0073] The lifting seat 330 is vertically mounted on the fixed seat 320, and the support rollers 310 are mounted on the lifting seat 330 and can contact the oak barrel 10 on the support rail 110. The lifting seat 330 can be approximately trapezoidal in shape, with its top surface concave to form a V-shape, allowing it to be adapted to support oak barrels 10 of different radial dimensions. Two support rollers 310 can be mounted on each lifting seat 330.

[0074] The drive component 340 is mounted on the fixed base 320 and is drivenly connected to the lifting base 330. The drive component 340 is used to drive the lifting base 330 to perform lifting movements. The drive component 340 can be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, etc., or the lifting power component 230 can be a linear push rod, etc.

[0075] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the driving component 340 is a cylinder. The cylinder body is fixed on the fixed base 320, and the piston rod of the cylinder is connected to the lifting base 330. When the cylinder is activated, the piston rod of the cylinder extends and retracts relative to the cylinder body, thereby driving the lifting base 330 to move up and down relative to the fixed base 320. Using a cylinder to drive the lifting base 330 to move up and down makes the operation of the device safer and more reliable, avoiding the explosion-proof and safety requirements of electric devices.

[0076] See Figure 1 In embodiments of this application, multiple second lifting mechanisms 300 may be provided along the length of the support frame 100, thereby forming multiple wine pouring stations on the support frame 100. For example, as... Figure 1As shown, three pouring stations are formed on the support frame 100. That is, the oak barrel pouring device of this embodiment can operate three oak barrels 10 at the same time for pouring.

[0077] See Figure 5 As shown, the second lifting mechanism 300 at each pouring station may include two sets of fixed seats 320, lifting seats 330, and driving components 340. The two sets of fixed seats 320, lifting seats 330, and driving components 340 are respectively arranged on both sides of the support frame 100 in the width direction to jointly support the oak barrel 10, thereby improving the support stability of the oak barrel 10.

[0078] See Figure 3 In one embodiment of this application, the oak barrel pouring device may include a first guide mechanism 600 disposed between a fixed seat 320 and a lifting seat 330, which guides the lifting seat 330's lifting movement relative to the fixed seat 320. By providing the first guide mechanism 600, the lifting seat 330's lifting movement relative to the fixed seat 320 can be guided, thereby improving the smoothness and accuracy of the lifting seat 330's lifting movement relative to the fixed seat 320.

[0079] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the first guide mechanism 600 includes a linear bearing 610 and a guide rod 620. The linear bearing 610 is mounted on the fixed seat 320, and its axial direction is arranged vertically. One end of the guide rod 620 is fixedly connected to the lifting seat 330, and the other end of the guide rod 620 passes through the linear bearing 610.

[0080] The linear bearing 610 can be two in number, and the two linear bearings 610 can be respectively disposed on both sides of the drive member 340. Correspondingly, there are two guide rods 620. The two guide rods 620 are respectively inserted into the corresponding linear bearings 610. By setting two linear bearings 610 and two guide rods 620, the stability of the lifting seat 330 relative to the fixed seat 320 can be improved, and the tilting of the lifting seat 330 can be avoided, thereby improving the support stability of the oak barrel 10.

[0081] In the embodiments of this application, the first guide mechanism 600 includes a linear bearing 610 and a guide rod 620, but this application is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the first guide mechanism 600 may also include a linear groove and a slider respectively disposed on the fixed seat 320 and the lifting seat 330, with the slider slidably connected to the linear groove; or, the first guide mechanism 600 includes a guide hole formed on the fixed seat 320 and a guide shaft disposed on the lifting seat 330; as long as the first guide mechanism 600 can guide the lifting movement of the lifting seat 330 relative to the fixed seat 320, the specific details can be determined according to the circumstances.

[0082] See Figure 1 In the embodiments of this application, the wine receiving tank 400 is disposed on the support frame 100 and located below the support rail 110. The wine receiving tank 400 is used to receive the wine poured from the oak barrel 10. For example, as Figure 5 As shown, the wine receiving tank 400 can be a tray structure with an overall cross-section that is approximately U-shaped. The length of the wine receiving tank 400 extends along the length of the support frame 100.

[0083] Vertically, the top of the receiving tank 400 is open, which is used to receive the wine poured from the oak barrels 10 at each pouring station. The bottom surface of the receiving tank 400 can be a V-shaped cross-section to facilitate the collection of the wine.

[0084] Furthermore, the bottom of the receiving tank 400 is provided with a wine outlet pipe 410, which is used to connect to external pumping equipment to pump the wine to the next process equipment. For example, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the wine outlet pipe 410 can be installed on the end wall along the length of the wine receiving tank 400.

[0085] like Figure 1 As shown, the bottom wall of the receiving tank 400 is arranged to slope downwards towards the location of the outlet pipe 410. Specifically, the bottom wall of the receiving tank 400 slopes downwards from the end away from the outlet pipe 410 towards the end where the outlet pipe 410 is located. In this embodiment, by arranging the bottom wall of the receiving tank 400 at an incline, it is easier for the wine to flow towards the outlet pipe 410, thereby ensuring that all the wine in the receiving tank 400 flows out and avoiding waste.

[0086] In other embodiments, when the wine outlet pipe 410 is located at the middle of the bottom of the wine receiving tank 400, and the bottom wall of the wine receiving tank 400 is arranged to slope downward toward the location of the wine outlet pipe 410, the bottom wall of the wine receiving tank 400 may be approximately inverted cone shape.

[0087] See Figure 5 In one embodiment, the oak barrel pouring device may further include a screen 800, which is detachably connected to the upper opening of the receiving tank 400. The screen 800 is used to filter the wine poured from the oak barrel 10. The screen 800 can be mechanically connected to the receiving tank 400 using various structures that enable a detachable fixed connection, such as a threaded locking structure, a snap-fit ​​structure, or a magnetic attraction structure.

[0088] In this embodiment, by setting a screen 800, the screen 800 can intercept and filter impurities such as carbon particles in the wine, thereby improving the purity of the wine. Furthermore, the screen 800 is detachably connected to the upper opening of the wine receiving tank 400, facilitating the cleaning and replacement of the screen 800, thus improving the usability of the oak barrel pouring device.

[0089] See Figure 1 In an embodiment of this application, a barrel discharge chute 500 is disposed on the other side of the support frame 100, and the barrel discharge chute 500 is used to receive the emptied oak barrels 10. For example, the barrel discharge chute 500 includes a barrel receiving groove 520 and an inclined buffer track 510, the barrel receiving groove 520 being placed on the ground. One end of the buffer track 510 is connected to the support track 110, and the barrel receiving groove 520 is connected to the other end of the buffer track 510.

[0090] In this embodiment, the side wall of the receiving groove 520 away from the buffer track 510 can extend upward to form a stop portion 521 to prevent the oak barrel 10 from continuing to roll. Of course, in other embodiments, the stop portion 521 can also adopt other structures that can stop the oak barrel 10.

[0091] In the embodiments of this application, an empty barrel chute 500 is used to receive the emptied oak barrel 10 and allow it to return to the ground for easy retrieval by workers. However, this application is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the empty barrel chute 500 may be omitted, and a lifting mechanism such as a transfer trolley or forklift may be used to receive the emptied oak barrel 10 on the support frame 100; alternatively, the first lifting mechanism 200 described above may be used to receive the emptied oak barrel 10 on the support frame 100, depending on the specific circumstances.

[0092] When using the oak barrel pouring device of this application embodiment:

[0093] Workers transported oak barrel 10 from the storage warehouse to the site of the oak barrel pouring device of this application. See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The oak barrel 10 is placed on the support plate 221 of the first lifting mechanism 200 by manually rolling it. The lifting power component 230 is activated to lift the oak barrel 10 to the height of the upper surface of the support rail 110. The oak barrel 10 is then transferred from the support plate 221 to the support rail 110 by manually rolling it.

[0094] The oak barrel 10 rolls on the support rail 110. When the oak barrel 10 rolls to the pouring station where the second lifting mechanism 300 is located, the drive unit 340 is activated to lift the lifting seat 330, and the support rollers 310 on the lifting seat 330 come into contact with the oak barrel 10. See also Figure 4When the oak barrel 10 is raised to a certain height, it disengages from the support track 110, and the support point of the oak barrel 10 transfers from the support track 110 to the support roller 310. By manually rotating the oak barrel 10 so that the outlet is facing upwards, and then manually opening the cork, the oak barrel 10 is rotated so that the outlet faces downwards towards the receiving tank 400. Thus, the wine inside the oak barrel 10 can be completely poured into the receiving tank 400 under gravity. During this process, the wine inside the oak barrel 10 passes through the screen 800 into the receiving tank 400, where the screen filters out impurities such as carbon particles. Afterwards, the wine in the receiving tank 400 can be transported to the next process via the outlet pipe 410 and external pumping equipment.

[0095] like Figure 3 As shown, after the wine in the oak barrel 10 is emptied, the drive unit 340 is activated to lower the lifting platform 330, causing the oak barrel 10 to land on the support track 110. Then, the oak barrel 10 is manually rolled along the barrel discharge slide 500 to the ground, where workers can collect the empty barrel.

[0096] The oak barrel pouring device of this application embodiment includes a support frame 100, a first lifting mechanism 200, a second lifting mechanism 300, a receiving trough 400, and a barrel discharge chute 500. The support frame 100 is provided with a support rail 110 for rolling and supporting the oak barrel 10. The first lifting mechanism 200 is used to lift the oak barrel 10 filled with wine to the height of the support rail 110, so that the worker can roll the oak barrel 10 onto the support rail 110. The second lifting mechanism 300 is used to lift the oak barrel 10 relative to the support rail 110, so that the oak barrel 10 is supported by the support rollers 310, thereby making it easier for the worker to roll the oak barrel 10 so that the spout faces downwards to pour out the wine, so that all the wine is poured into the receiving trough 400 below. After the oak barrel 10 is emptied, the second lifting mechanism 300 lowers the barrel 10, allowing it to be supported again by the support rail 110. This facilitates workers rolling the barrel 10 along the support rail 110, moving it away from its current position. Furthermore, the emptied barrel 10 can roll along the discharge chute 500 to the ground for easy retrieval. This oak barrel 10 emptying device is simple to configure and easy to operate, and can flexibly handle the dispensing of wine from various oak barrels 10. Compared to traditional suction dispensing, it dispenses wine more thoroughly, leaving almost no residue in the barrel, reducing waste and significantly lowering enterprise costs.
